Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for Amram in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as Amram is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, references to Amram in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) would use a transliteration of the name, typically rendered as Αμραμ (Amram) in Greek.

Usage: Amram is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific individual, primarily known as the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

Context: Amram is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the context of the Exodus narrative. He is a member of the tribe of Levi and is most notably recognized as the father of three pivotal figures in Israelite history: Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Amram's lineage is detailed in the genealogical records found in the Book of Exodus and the Book of Numbers. According to Exodus 6:18, Amram is the son of Kohath, who is a son of Levi, making Amram a grandson of Levi. This places him within the Levitical line, which is significant for the roles his sons would later play in leading the Israelites out of Egypt and establishing the priesthood.

In Exodus 6:20, it is recorded that Amram married Jochebed, his father's sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses. This familial connection underscores the close-knit nature of the Levite tribe during this period. Amram's life and actions are not extensively detailed in the biblical narrative, but his legacy is carried through his children, who play crucial roles in the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage and the establishment of the covenant community.

The name Amram appears in genealogical lists and is mentioned in the context of the Levitical duties and responsibilities. In Numbers 3:27, the descendants of Amram, known as the Amramites, are listed among the clans of the Kohathites, who were responsible for the care of the sanctuary's most sacred objects.
